At Amite City, La., as a result of an ambuscade growing out of a rnmily feud, two women and a man were killed, one of the alleged assasins is being held under a heavy guard and the country for miles around is being searched for another man alleged to be implicated in the murders, which occurred recently. It is alleged that as Benjamin Breland, his wife and Mrs. Joseph Everitt, the latter carrying an infant in her arms, were making their way homeward along one of the parish roads, Avery Blount and Garfield Kinchen fired on them from the side of the road with shotguns. Mrs. Averitt fell with her baby into the road, her head blown almost off. Mrs. Breland's breast was torn off bv one of the volleys and Breland himself fell at the first fire. Young people driving home from a party found the baby crawling about among the bodies. Breland was still living and was able to murmur the name of Kinchen before he died. Avery Blunt was captured after an all-night search and savs that Kiuchan killed J?i --- j i ' - - nrt'iitnn, Dill Will not 88V who killed the woman. Mrs. Everitt's husband was killed by Ben Kinchen, a brother of Garfield, several days ago, and the widow and her baby were making their home with the Brelands.

Many persons are learning that drugs are not the thing to rebuild worn out nerves, but proper food Is required. There Is a certain element In the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which Is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This Ib the phospbato of potash, of which GrapeNuts food contains a large proportion. In making this food all tho food lementa In the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find In Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food "I can Fay that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve renewer," writes a Wis. bride. "A few years ago, before my marriage, I was a bookkeeper in a large firm. I became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I mutt give up my position, which 1 could not afford to do. "Mother purchased some GrapeNuts, and we found it not only delletonr, but I noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally ' realized I was not nervous any more. "I have recommended It to friends as a |>rain and nerve food, never having found Its equal. 1 owe much to Grape-Nnta. aa It aaved me from a nervous collapse, and enabled sue to rettla my position."

The old-fashioned valentines are, of course, out of dalo for everybody but children, yet the sentiment of the day still lingers in the hearts and darts and pasteboard Cupids used on the newcandy boxes.

It adds to the appearance if the edges of the bcx are touched ?P with a line of gold paint, as shown in our illustration. For 'serving refreshments at a valentine party there is nothing more effective than heart and arrow ice cream or chocolate russe boxes, and the best thing about them is that they can be so easily and quickly made. Buy some rather thin bright red pasteboard at a stationery store and also a sheet of white pasteboard. Then get some of the ordinary pleated paper cases that, are used- for charlotte russe, bisquit glace, etc. An arrow is cut out of the white pasteboard, painted gold or covered with gift paper and pasted across the large 1 heart that has just been cut from the red pasteboard. A circle is then cut out of the heart, through arrow and all, the ice cream box inserted in the opening and held in place with a little paste. The paper baskets can be even more quickly made, the foundation being the same sort of pleated paper case. In making the red paper basket, this is given a handle formed of wire, with red crepe paper twisted around it and a heart and arrow pasted at the top.

The white Ice cream bosket Is made In exactly the same way, with the substitution of white? paper for red and a little pasteboard Cupid stuck on the handle In place cf the heart and arrow. The favors for a valentine dance, children's party or cotillion are simply fancy paper hearts fastened cn slender sticks, wound with paper and decorated with ribbon streamers. The caudle shade makes a most effective table decoration. It is of white paper, decorated with red hearts and gold arrows, and the top and bottom of the shade are finished with twists or the paper touched up with gold paint. St. Valentine's Dav was nrlelnallv the day dedicated to the incoming of spring. The Romans kept it in honor of Pan and Juno, and the festival, which lasted several days, was called "Lupercalia." The early Christian church, desiring to effect a change in this much-abused feast, very adroitly reconstituted the old practice of the lottery of lovers' names. In place of the names of real youths and maidens, whose appellations, written on slli?8 of paper, were drawn by the young people or the time, the church substituted the names of the saints. The idea hail its own beauty, and the notion of dedication was thus preserved in a more spiritual sense than in the old Roman festival. This feast, and not the existence of the real St. Valentine, is the origin of the gallant mvoox v/rfU? rue hcapt <andt-oox with DUt-SiVACC observances of the day; for it would be very hard to say which of the three early Christian bishops so named the 14th of February is intended to commemorate.

Harrlman to the directorate of the New York Central is an Important event in the world of finance, for it means that Mr. Harrlman now has in his grasp more than one-third of the total railway mileage in the United States, and that third, embracing as it does such important interlacing trunk lines, implies a domain far wider than the bare figures would indicate. Mr. Harrlman controls to-day, in part or wholly, ten great railway systems, aggregating 77,000 miles, or more than one-third of the total railway mileage of the United States. Including the Erie, in whose affairs his exploit of last April gave him the dominating voice, these are the systems thus controlled: Mileage.

They say, and say rightly, that It weakens, and occasionally even d?stroys, representative government. It is not the voters; it is huge corpo-ations that more than once have declared w^at the laws shall be and who shall execute them. This is why it is inevitable that the unbridled greed of Harriman and his kind is sure to be made the excuse for renewed agitation against corporations.
